Time which softens all things, could
not amcliorate the crime which de-

his parents Of their reason. No iail
is sufficient to prolong the lives of
nefalious criminals. When they re.
turned to Yorkville for trial, the very

will address the people at the creamery
meeting on Saturday eve, Aug. 9th, at
Academy Hall, on the separator pro-
cess of manufacturing butter. AS the
speakers at previous meetings represent
ted the Cooley process. all should at
tend and learn how it can be made an
other way. The creamery question is
one that should interest the farmers in
town and they should remember that
it was wool at dollar and butter at
forty cents per lb. that paid those big
taxes in war times and the present in
debtedness of this town means. at no
distant day, taxes nearly equal to those
paid in those times and with wool at
30 cents, the extra five to ten cents per
Id. more that they can get for cream
cry butter than that made the old way,
will come handy.
